Nick Cave announced a new Bad Seeds album after a countdown timer, but he didn’t need to bother because the quote he dropped today is glorious.

So, ‘Wild God’ is coming out August 30th. Cave posted “I don’t want to say much about the album itself until it is released in August and you get to hear all the songs, but I can tell you that it is a record full of secrets…”

And later he said this: “Then I can tell you a few things that you really must know – like what exactly Anita is talking about, why Kris Kristofferson walks in and out of the truly epic ‘Frogs’, what the real life event in ‘Conversion’ is, why this record is so joyful when almost everyone in the songs is dead, why my wife finally awakens after years of sleep, what is the actual name of the narrator in ‘Long Dark Night’, who are the dozen white vampires in ‘Cinnamon Horses’, and why there is so much damn water. But all that, I guess, will have to wait.”
